[lug] Selecting MODEM for Linux

[Harris, James A (Jim)]

Many of the Diamonds are running as Winmodems now...

Watch out for "soft" USRobotics Sportsers too.  Their PnP is working well,
but they've removed the jumpers.  (Really tics me off... that was the one
really kickass thing about them... oh well...)

Most popular?  I really like my SupraFAX 28.8.  Too bad they don't make them
any more...  MultiTech makes great modems.  USRobotics these days work
well.  Zoom has "issues", particularly with faxing.  I haven't tried any
of the new Supra (now Diamond) modems to know.  None of the current
modems I know of have the features I loved on the SupraFAX...

I don't know, I've never used setserial.  For the longest time kermit has
had that functionality built into it and it just happens automaticly.
I've never had an issue with PPP or other software either.
